Seeking anyone who shares a connection with, or knows anything about: FELIX STILES Location: South Jersey/probably Gloucester/Salem Counties Birth: about 1770-1790 Died: after 1848 Wife: Supposedly, by folklore: "Ann Sand" (possibly of the "Sandtown" Sands?) He had a son, Felix Jr. who married Maria (we believe) and There's another Felix (amazing isn't it?) 8/27/1828-6/27/1915 who married Mary Ann Sack 10/27/1826 - 2/11/1897 Now these two are buried in Bridgeport, NJ and are my ancestors; we've validated that. What I'd like to do is connect Felix and Mary Ann back to the other local Felix's who are supposedly his father/uncle/grandfather -- or some combination thereof. Then maybe I can get back to England for the rest of the family that might actually connect us to the rest of the local Stiles' -- but with what I've got -- there are a lot of us, but we aren't finding the connection. I lived in SJersey and have done the historical societies, censuses etc. but cannot find a real connection/validation for relationships here. The only thing that I had "concrete" was my Aunt Evelyn Stiles Wilson once told me that "our Felix and his father, also Felix" came to the U.S. on a ship that landed in Philadelphia -- which was the family lore. (No luck on ship manifests either). enjoy your day...... janet AOL AIM SN: Mamaredsrants SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS!!! www.hbprints.com ...my cousin, Hayes' southwestern prints & Indian jewelry & lots more!
